As the original developers, engineers and enthusiasts who brought the VAG induction hose line to the market almost 10 years ago, Forge Motorsport is pleased to announce a completely retooled, redesigned, and reengineered range of induction hoses for all VAG 1.8T applications. Forge Motorsport has spent the last year co-developing a range of vehicle specific hoses with silicone manufacturer SiliconHoses.com guaranteed to rival the best offerings from any other manufacturer on the market today in terms of quality, price, and most importantly, performance.

Fitment guide for FMGOLFIND: The first hose released from this new range is the induction hose for 1.8T Golf's, Jetta's, GTI's, New Beetle Turbo S's and Seat Leon (not Leon Cupra R) This hose fits all of the following engine codes on the above mentioned vehicles:
- AWW - AWD - AWP - AUM - APP - AWU - AUQ
AWW engine codes require a small blanking plug for a port on the hose not used on this engine code. This plug is included at no additional charge.

These hoses have been designed and manufactured with the utmost care given to quality and performance. The silicone compound used in the construction of the hoses is of the highest sheer strength available and is hand-laid with a polyester reinforcement fabric. The layering of the hoses is far more uniform and consistent than of that from any other manufacturer which improves the overall structural integrity of the hoses up to 50%. The internal surface of the hose is completely smooth and unobstructed and the internal volume of this hose has been increased to provide the highest level of airflow at all points within the power band. We have also taken extra care to ensure consistency between each hose produced, and that each hose includes all of the necessary ports and provisions required for each engine code and application as have often been missing on hoses from other manufacturers.

Dyno testing has been performed, by independent reviewer and Forge dealer NGP Racing on their in-house DynoJet dynamometer. Testing was performed on a 2003 Jetta 1.8T with an AWP engine code. The vehicle modifcations include: - EVO Cold Air Intake. - TT 2.5" Turbo-Back Exhaust. - Forge 004 Blow-off Valve. - N75J Valve. - APR 93 Octane Chip. For the benefit of those without engine software modifications, testing was conducted with stock ECU software and also APR's 93 octane software. Dyno runs 1 and 3 compare a baseline (OEM hose) to the addition of the Forge induction hose using the stock ECU as programming. Dyno runs 2 and 4 compare a baseline (OEM hose) to the addition of the Forge induction hose using the APR 93 Octane programming. The results show a 5.82 WHP increase using the stock programming and a 12.26 WHP increase using the APR 93 Octane programming with an SAE correction factor.

When Forge says their products are Engineered For Performance. Its not a catchy sales phrase, it's the truth and Forge proves it with every product they manufacture.
